Ever wonder who makes the tiny brains powering your smartphone, car, and AI? You'll discover how one company, TSMC, became the undisputed global leader in advanced chip manufacturing, holding immense power over the tech world.
Today, over 90% of the world's most advanced microchips, the brains behind your iPhone, AI servers, and electric vehicles, are made by a single company: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). This makes them a critical choke point in global technology.
TSMC doesn't design chips; they specialize solely in manufacturing them for other companies like Apple, Nvidia, and Qualcomm.
